| Research Abstract |
This Inquiry conceed about so-called Moral Realism which is capable of various formulations according to their different attitudes to the related semantic and epistemological problems. Generally speaking moral realism is a philosophical position which aspires to preserving the objectivity of ethical jugement. And therefore it opposes relativism and subjectivism such as Prescriptivism and Emotivism The leading ides is to see moral truth as grounded in the nature of things rather than in subjective and variable human reactions to things. But it makes room for various stages of moral development because it supposes internal connection between moral jugement and motivation-a connection that used to be understood as a favorable support for noncognitivism. It is J.McDowell's position that reconcile cognitivism with the involvement of certain affective or conative propensities. And we scrutinized its developmental aspects.
